28 Weeks

Im entering my 3rd trimester today.

Where did the 2nd trimester go ?? Come back, you felt gooood !

Its incredible how much my belly has grown and feels different in the last 4 weeks.
Belly has been feeling really really tight, like its gonna explode any minute and Im starting to wonder if she is gonna fit ??!
No stretch marks so far.
Im using Certified Organic Rosehip Oil for it.
2nd Trimester was great, lots and lots of good energy, plenty of sweet cravings for chocolate and icecream :)

Lots of it !!

Good thing I dont seem to put on any extra weight at all, yay, but when im not pregnant I go up a kg by just looking at a chocolate bar !

My blood pressure has been perfect so far and a healthy baby heartbeat.

My diabetic test came back Negative, which is good news :)

This week I have been feeling soooo tired again though, like in my 1st Trimester, makes it pretty hard to be at work and when I get home I just want to go straight to bed.

 The dark cold winter evenings are not helping either!

My little girl has been VERY energetic and is taking dancing lessons in my belly :)
 but what a great feeling !!
The kicks are starting to turn into stretching movements now, and I love watching her little feet move across my belly :)
Im peeing more then ususal, guessing she is resting on my bladder hehe.
Only 12 weeks to go now and we are getting really excited, but also very nervous.
This is just such an incredible new experience for both of us.
Cant wait to meet her !!

MY NEW CANON !!

 Got a new camera this weekend and im so super excited !!!

Its the new Canon EOS 650D touchscreen SLR Camera (18-135 STM lens).

My gorgeous man had gone out to buy this camera for me while I was working so I came home on Friday night to a super awesome surprise :)

Have no idea how to use it so got plenty of learning to do now !

Want to capture every precious moment when our little baby girl is born :)

NEW PRAM !

Was an exciting weekend for me as we were going Pram shopping !!

Never did I think it was going to be this much fun :)

We got a Silver Cross Surf.

Heaps of colors to choose from but ended up with a black one.

They even had pink !

The good thing about this pram is that its supplied with its very own, extra special Babynest. The Babynest provides a deeply padded lie flat surface for your baby, hand made with soft short pile fleece fabrics.

Also you can have the seat facing towards you or the other way round.

Easily folds together aswell.

Look at my man so excited putting it together !

Probably cause it has got "wheels" hehe.

SUNDAY BEACH

Sunday noon I had a lovely long hour beach walk at Muriwai Beach with a friend of mine.

I so needed that fresh air and sound of the ocean.

So relaxing...

COZY

Having a cozy night in with the warming fire on.

 Its just me and the doggies tonight, movies, pizza and ice cream. 

Blake watching rugby at friends house. 

Ahhh its nice to have the house to myself sometimes :)

AUTUMN LEAFS...

Autumn is well here and its getting colder.

Mostly in the early mornings and when the sun goes down. 

We have had lots of sunny days with clear blue skies.

During the day the temperature is around +16C.

Coming from Sweden they ask me how I can be cold in our NZ winter as its pretty mild.

But Im guessing our bodies just adjusts to the climate we are in.

In Sweden our winters where im from it gets as cold as -15C, now thats cold !!

It even hurts when you breath ! haha

Our leafs from our trees in our garden are now falling, and what you see is just from one week!

Cant even see our lawn!

Arrghh... its such a mission to get rid of, and its sticky too !

Sticks very nicely to our doggies fur so we also have a lil garden inside the house now haha.

And if we dont get rid of it quick enough it actually burns our grass, not good.

 

 Here is my man burning a few calories hehe

Much better !

But it will all be back again in a weeks time when the rest of the leafs has fallen

....arrghhh.

BEACH DAY

 

Had a stunning day at the beach  yesterday on Anzac Day.

Took the dogs for a long walk and then sat down and enjoyed the views, the weather and overindulged in icecream !

We have had the whole of April warm and sunny, better weather then we had all summer id say !

This beach is called Muriwai beach which is black sand and popular amongs surfers, and  only a short 30 min short drive from Auckland CBD.

CHARMING BOATHOUSE

Spending my day on the couch with my furry ones, watching tv and eating some Swedish candy I ordered online hihi...oh yes, us Swedes love our food and we dont like to share it ;p

My cold has gotten worse again, just hoping im not gonna get the flu, that would suk !

And its been a while since I could breath thru my nose man !

I really look forward to my 2nd Trimester now as they call it the "glowing" period apparently, cause Im aint glowing now or have so far, I can tell you that haha !

So recovering time hurry up, its My Birthday this weekend and im planning to 'feel good' ok!

Treating myself to a haircut tomorrow, maybe some shopping and some yummy food to eat, im pretty hungry these days so bring it on !
